my new PVR was installed yesterday, 4pm

till now the June 16th 3 new Channels 310,721 & 722 is still not in my new smartcard yet although it was in my previous Byond smartcard after june 16
i called CS and was told tat it takes some 24 hrs to get my new smartcard updated

anyone here faced this problem?

btw, the recording feature rocks although there should be more user friendly sweat.gif

Yes, you're right.
But, with PVR, you can record one channel while watching other channel.
Or record two channels simultaneously but you will stuck with one channel that you're currently record.
I don't think that you can fill up 500GB space on B.yond PVR so quickly...
I have recorded about 30 programs on my B.yond PVR, mostly in SD.., and 5 in HD if i' not mistaken.., but I still have about 200 hours free recording space....  thumbup.gif

u can watch a recorded channel and record 2 channels simultaneously la rite?

btw, i only record HD channels, and my fav now is Channel 310, Rediscovering the Yangtse , go watch it, damn nice on HD compared to SD while on WLT

i already have byond.i am interested with byond PVR.now i am hesitating to choose between upgrading byond by adding external HDD or upgrade the whole unit.because if byond,u can change HDD when its full if u dont wanna delete ur recording but PVR cannot as it only use its internal HDD u like it or not need to delete some am i right?
*
juz take the PVR and i bet u wont regret once u played wif it..................

cost incurred almost similiar,

buy your own HDD, u hav to fork out abt rm260~rm280

take PVR u pay the installer rm300 ( and get a roll of cable FOC cause one cable ady installed when they install the first Byond ), all the items are LIFETIME WARRANTY, even the remote controller thumbup.gif

and u can record 2 channels at one go, no nid to fight wif your wife which channels u guys wanna watch laugh.gif laugh.gif

i see.i hope in near future they will add extra harddisk function.

so far i think the best HD channel is AXN HD as their program usually in 1080 format

try CH310, then u will reserve your judgement laugh.gif

not really that great... the moment they play chinese mtv with some disco lights u see a lot of pixels... OUT!.. though their tvb dramas, lets say a lot of slow motion is alright.... =/


Added on June 20, 2010, 6:36 pm
i get you ... even astro's own channel, like WLT... it got blurrer and more pixels... obviously they have reduced the resolution and bitrate.... sucks!
*
i know the answer to your question

i am using the same model LCD tv as my mother.................

mine is Byond PVR, my mom is normal astro
mine dun hav pixelation whereas my mom's hav lots
so its the TV's problem not astro

even same model tv gave different output doh.gif

i tried doing several settings to the LCD tv but to no avail sweat.gif

I have tried this, I disconnect the first cable and let only one cable go through it., and no signal at all can be received by PVR....  sweat.gif
But when I tried to connect the old decoder (not Byond one, normal SD decoder), and it can received the signal... signal strength also very good! I got 78 for AGC..  biggrin.gif

Sorry to dissapoint u bro..but no EPL on ESPN STAR SPORTS..all moved to Astro's crappy Supersport channel..just watch ESPN and Star Sports promo for August, no mention of EPL or the Champions League qualifiers..only community shield match..and astro arena announced Liverpool vs Arsenal on Supersport..so yeah..pretty much confirmed we gonna get AStro cheap in house presenting EPL..

4 those of u who know about football matcg timing..have a think about this..before this on a Saturday night Malaysian time u had..

7PM - EPL ON ESPN

10PM - EPL ON ESPN
- EPL ON STAR SPORTS
- BUNDESLIGA ON SUPERSPORT

12AM - EPL ON ESPN
- LA LIGA/SERIE A ON SUPERSPORT
- LIGUE 1 ON SUPERSPORT 2

2AM - LA LIGA/SERIE A ON SUPERSPORT N SUPERSPORT 2

Now the biq question is one of the these leagues will become victim of Astro putting EPL on Supersport..they can cram and show everything now could they? or instead of 4 EPL matches each night we are only gonna get 1 or maybe 2? gonna be some big changes i think..

Please GOD..i hope Atro does what mio tv is doing in Singapore!!!
Any football fans, read the link n u will also hope we get the channel SingTel has instead of what Astro will be giving us!!!
WE WANT JOHN DYKES!!! vmad.gif

You can catch Ash during the Audio Launch itself. Somewhere in between the 5 hours event.
Expected Sun TV, Sun Music turn HD sometime before next year.
